I...really don't like knowing how many people clicked on my fic. I think I said something about this on twitter before yeah.

its different than having something in a paper or magazine or even reading a piece to a group bc its constantly out there AND always telling you how many people interacted with it - joejoeia

I know people tend to only leave Kudos when they really like something and a comment almost never, so I try not to mind the hit to kudos ratio & don't expect comments at all. However, knowing 20, 50, 100, 300, 500, 1000! people clicked on my thing freaks me out. Even if they left within the first sentence 😵 I'll never know how many people actually read it, but they at least saw part of it and that's still shocking 😱

I'm absolutely chuffed to bits when something I wrote gets bookmarked though. It's unfathomable, yet pleasant. I can't quite pin down why I find hits so dreadful though. Perhaps I am internalizing the hits to kudos ratio because I know other people care about it? Or it's part of the mortifying ordeal of being known!? lol.
